Resallience lab — R&DI unit of resallience
The RESALLIENCE LAB is a space dedicated to researching, developing, and innovating (R&DI), as well as to foresight. It aims to create synergies between the different stakeholders and to widen the resilience community.
To achieve this goal, we have many levers for action:
- Reinforcing knowledge and increasing awareness about resilience and climate change amongst as many stakeholders as possible,
- Sharing knowledge by teaming up with the academic, scientific, and private spheres,
- Intervening as a resilience player through the valorization of publications and research projects, as well as the animation of workshops, conferences, and webinars.
This exchange of know-how is made possible by the position of Resallience within the Vinci/Sixence group and all our scientific and academic networks.
Valorization and sharing knowledge are the key values of the RESALLIENCE LAB.

Conferences on climate, environment and resilience
As a player in climatic transition and resilience, we regularly speak at conferences for different events and seminars around the world about the climate, the environment, the adaptation, or the resilience.
In partnership with international institutions and NGOs, Resallience co-organizes webinars and conferences.
It is urgent to share our expertise with all actors committed to or interested in the climatic stakes to speed up their adaptation.
The participation in these events with other specialists allows us to ring the alarm to the need to adopt an adaptation strategy in the face of climate change. We also give practical examples of solutions and levers for action that we have already implemented with our clients.

R&D Projects
Our team gathers researchers, academics, PhDs, and engineers, which shows that innovation and R&D are at the core of Resallience. They are the key to our development strategy.
We mostly work on:
- Systemic simulations,
- Domino effects,
- Technical-financial simulations,
- Cascading Failures and disruptions,
- Predictive models.
We show our clients existing solutions based on nature. This approach is made possible by sharing knowledge between our scientific and academic experts and our partners.
Since 2019, we have led projects in over sixty countries and offered innovative and efficient solutions of resilience to each of our clients.

Research centers
At Resallience, we are evolving in a continuous R&DI process. Because each of our project is unique, we promote the collected data by adapting them to new contexts.
Despite all our knowledge, we are aware that our expertise has its own limits sometimes. It is why we have partnered up with research centers and universities.
